Myanmar Military News Updates – Oct 07, 2025 Evening
🚩🚩 1. Over 20 civilians, including children, killed and more than 40 injured as junta bombs Thadingyut festival crowd between Monywa and Chaung-U
October 7
According to local news sources, more than 20 civilians, including children, were killed and over 40 others injured when the terrorist junta conducted an airstrike on civilians celebrating the Thadingyut full moon festival along the border of Monywa and Chaung-U Townships in Sagaing Region on the night of October 6.
At around 8 p.m. on October 6, the junta’s aircraft bombed a village located at the Monywa–Chaung-U border where locals were holding a traditional candle-lighting festival for Thadingyut full moon day.
According to the MFP News Agency, citing local sources, two 120mm bombs were dropped directly into the crowd of festivalgoers by paramotor aircraft that took off from the Northwestern Military Command (NaMaKha) based in Monywa, killing and injuring many.
Locals tried to bury the victims overnight and provide urgent medical care to the wounded, but the junta continued bombing the same area with paramotors and artillery shells fired from Ma U Gate and Kyauksitpon outposts at the entrance of Monywa City.
Due to the relentless artillery shelling and repeated airstrikes, it has become extremely difficult to provide medical assistance, and locals fear that the death toll could rise further.
Photographs from the scene show mutilated bodies—people with severed limbs, open abdominal wounds, and children lying dead from the blast.
Reports indicate that the Northwestern Command in Monywa recently acquired paramotors and gyrocopters last month and has since been using them to carry out large-scale massacres like this one.
As of noon on October 7, local revolutionary forces operating in the area have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.

October 7
According to Yaw Alin Tan News, resistance joint forces attacked Infantry Battalion 50 (KhaLaYa-50) and the main police station in Gangaw, Magway Region, using short-range rockets, reportedly causing casualties among junta soldiers and police personnel.
At around 6:10 p.m. on October 6, two rockets struck within the junta’s Infantry Battalion 50 base and three more hit the Gangaw main police station. The explosions caused fatalities and injuries among the soldiers and police, according to local reports cited by Yaw Alin Tan News.
Authorities are still investigating to confirm the extent of casualties.
As a result of the attack, a planned Thadingyut celebration organized by Battalion 50’s commander, Lt. Col. Hla Myo Htut, at the football ground near the Gangaw District General Administration Office, was reportedly canceled.
In retaliation, the junta fired 120mm artillery shells from the Battalion 50 base toward Zahaw Village, injuring one civilian and killing one ox while wounding two others belonging to local villagers, according to sources cited by Yaw Alin Tan.
With the junta preparing to hold elections in Gangaw Township, resistance forces warned that nearby villages remain under the threat of arbitrary artillery attacks and urged civilians to stay alert for potential assaults.

🚩🚩 4. KNDF warns civilians to beware of air threats and avoid unnecessary travel amid ongoing clashes in Demoso, Hpruso, and Loikaw
October 7
The Karenni National Defense Force (KNDF) has issued a warning urging civilians in Demoso, Hpruso, and Loikaw townships not to travel unnecessarily and to remain vigilant against potential airstrikes, as intense clashes continue in those areas.
The announcement was made in a weekly military report covering battles between junta forces and revolutionary units across Karenni State.
According to the report, fighting has been escalating as junta troops have launched new offensives in Demoso, Hpruso, and Loikaw, as well as near Hpekhon at the Karenni–Southern Shan border. Junta-aligned PNO forces have also been active, while troop movements have been reported in Mobye.
In eastern Loikaw, junta forces advanced from Linphongyi village in Loi Lin Lay area on September 28, leading to three consecutive days of clashes with resistance forces.
In Demoso, daily battles have been taking place near Daung Kha Ward and Tananu Kwi Village, with the junta using drones, bombs, and heavy artillery against resistance units.
On the Demoso–Hpruso road, resistance forces destroyed one junta vehicle and killed several soldiers, including an officer, according to KNDF.
In Hpruso, junta troops have been regrouping and advancing from Military Training School No. 14 toward Bawlekhe, sparking additional clashes.
Meanwhile, junta forces, in collaboration with the PNO, have deployed troops near Tawnsalone Village in Hpekhon and shelled nearby villages with artillery. Junta units stationed in Mobye have also launched operations toward Saktaung and Lwel Yin villages, leading to further fighting.
On October 3, the junta’s Light Infantry Battalion 530 stationed in Loi Lin Lay fired artillery that injured two ten-year-old children, according to KNDF.
Additionally, on September 28, a drone strike by junta troops on a village east of Loikaw injured a 50-year-old man.
During the past week alone, three junta soldiers have defected with their weapons and ammunition to the resistance side.
However, due to ongoing airstrikes, drone bombings, and heavy artillery attacks, the KNDF urged civilians to avoid traveling to conflict zones unless absolutely necessary.
